Birmingham City's "Middlewon Commander" Baek Seung-ho (29) showed his "band fight spirit" despite a head-torn injury.

Birmingham defeated league leader Coventry City 3-2 in the 26th round of the "2025-2026 English Professional Football Championship" at St Andrews Park in Birmingham, England, on the 5th (Korea time).

With this, Birmingham (34 points) broke the seven-game winless chain (three draws and four losses) to rise to 13th place. On the other hand, Coventry (52 points) has been mired in a slump of no wins (one draw and two losses) in the last three games.

Baek Seung-ho won the game. Baek Seung-ho, who started as a central midfielder and coordinated the midfield, suffered a dizzying injury in the 10th minute of the second half. In the process of blocking the opponent's free kick, he was hit hard on the forehead by Jack Ludoni's foot. Since then, Baek Seung-ho's forehead has been bleeding, and the game has been suspended for a while.

However, Baek Seung-ho refused to replace him. After receiving emergency hemostasis from medical staff, he put a bandage on his head and returned to the ground. And he played full-time, playing the rest of the time. Thanks to Baek Seung-ho's 'bando fighting spirit', Birmingham maintained a one-goal lead until the end and won.

After the game, local fans applauded Baek Seung-ho's injury fighting spirit. According to the fan site 'Small Heath Alliance', fans said, 'Baek Seung-ho ran to the end even though his forehead was bleeding. "He is a true warrior," "The hidden hero of today's victory is Baek Seung-ho who showed his bandage fighting spirit," and "He proved why we love the players." It was a commitment itself,' he said.

Baek Seung-ho also posted a picture of his forehead on his social media (SNS) and showed his fighting spirit, saying, "3 points, let's go."
